My baby's not getting out
I'm keeping it inside daily
"too soon, too soon" I mentally shout
while humming to my mound gaily
there's been the panicked hospital drive
blood oozing down my legs
that trying to keep 'it' alive
my desperate to doctor begs
See this is my 4th pregnancy
each one greeted with hope
I've already lost three
this time I don't think I'd cope
they can't tell me why
done every test
all we can do is try
nature does the rest
5 months I've laid in this bed
legs crossed not moving
each bleed fills me with dread
but each day in, chances improving
please say a prayer for me
we need all the help we can get
that inside stays my baby
'its' not ready to come out, not yet
